Lounge

Lounge sits at 275 of 471 in Russia's listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

Two recorded opens in the public directory. That is a trace rather than a measurement, and it is the reason this page describes where the station sits rather than how popular it is.

Lounge has no language recorded in the directory. We do not infer one. Guessing from the country would put every station in Russia on the same shelf regardless of what it broadcasts, which is exactly the kind of filled-in blank that makes a directory untrustworthy.

Lounge streams at 128 kbps, which is exactly where Russia's dial sits: the country's median is 128 kbps. Being unremarkable on this axis is the normal case and it is fine. 53% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better.

Its audio comes straight from 193.33.170.218:8000, an address unique to this entry in Russia's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
